In today’s advanced machining environment—especially in multi-axis turn-mill centres, high-speed milling and precision finishing—the tooling interface is no longer an after-thought. For manufacturers seeking a single solution across static turning, driven tooling and milling operations, XiRay’s PSC Tool Holder Series offers an ideal answer. The PSC interface (commonly referenced under the ISO 26623 standard) is rapidly gaining exposure in specialist tooling circles and XiRay has aligned closely with this evolution. https://www.xiray-tools.com/psc-tool-holder-series/ Product Overview XiRay’s PSC Tool Holder Series integrates the polygon-shank conical (PSC) interface with robust build quality, giving users a stable tool-holding platform that spans multiple machine tool types. According to XiRay’s website, the PSC range includes one-piece shank holders, turret/turn-mill versions, and modular turning holders. Core Features & Advantages Interface Standard: The PSC interface (ISO 26623) features a tapered polygonal shank which ensures both axial and radial repeatability, and high torsional stiffness. Versatility: Because PSC connects driven tooling (e.g., live cutters) and static turning holders via the same interface, XiRay positions their PSC series as suitable for turn-mill centres, vertical multitask machines, and complex manufacturing setups. High-performance Construction: XiRay cites features such as shrink-fit compatibility, high clamping accuracy (low run-out), and internal coolant options. Industry Applicability: The series is marketed for automotive, electronics, medical devices and precision parts processing—segments where high accuracy, minimal vibration and fast tool change are critical. Why Choose XiRay’s PSC Series? Manufacturers upgrading to multi-axis machining or those consolidating tooling across turning and milling operations will find significant advantages: Higher machine utilization: Faster tool changes and repeatable positioning means less downtime in high-mix environments. Improved surface finish & tolerance: The combination of the PSC interface’s rigidity and XiRay’s build ensures stable cutting conditions, especially when finishing difficult alloys or requiring tight tolerances. Simplified tooling library: Rather than stocking separate interfaces for milling, turning and driven tools, the PSC platform allows a unified interface strategy across machine types. Application Tips Verify that the spindle and machine tool are compatible with PSC interface (ISO 26623) to fully leverage the repeatability and rigidity advantages. Use correct shrink-fit or clamping procedure per XiRay’s documentation to ensure clamping force and low run-out are achieved. In a turn-mill environment, select PSC versions built for driven cutters and static holders so you can reduce inventory and standardize tooling.
